Mix it up!

When traveling for more than a week, you have to minimize the amount of clothes you bring, and often wear the same articles of clothing. However, it can be super fun if you bring pieces that you can mix and match. Include a variety of tops, bottoms, and accessories that all have color compatibility. By packing clothing and accessories that all go well together, it makes your life a whole lot easier each day when you to pick out what to wear.

  I brought two pairs of shoes that were good for walking around all day in. I also brought articles that I could layer on my trip to Spain this summer

How to prepare your travel wardrobe:

1. The first step is to choose a base color. Some good choices are black, grey, navy blue (or even white or brown).
2. Next, pick one or two accent colors that will add a bright pop. (coral, orange, yellow, red)
3. You want to make sure you have different pieces (shorts, leggings, shirt, shirts that go under sweaters)
4. Depending on where you are going, bring the appropriate shoes. Always include a pair that you can walk a long distance in. If you are going to the beach a lot, throw in a pair of flip flops or sandals.
5. Bring colorful accessories that can brighten your look such as a watch, a scarf, or even a headband.

More Tips:

• Know the weather
• Try to bring wrinkle-free clothes
• Dress in layers
• If you are traveling with someone your size, you can always borrow things from them as well.

Here are some of the pictures of my daily outfits throughout the trip. I wore some of the shirts I brought multiple times with different bottoms.

Each day you can mix and match the articles you brought. Especially if you do not have access to a washing machine, you do not want to wear the exact same outfit multiple times. If you are smart about what you pack, you never have to wear the same outfit twice because you can switch it up by wearing different pieces with each other each day.
